[Interlude]
Yeah
Ugh
I'm going back in, man, yeah
[Verse 2]
We get fuck y'all money,✦ how you wan' play it?
That AK sleep on the side of my bed
That's one eye closed,✦ one eye open
Your cap get peeled,✦ like ibuprofen
I'm sick, I'm ill, I ain't the nigga✦ to fuck with
It's a crazy✦ world and life is shorter than Bushwick
Young Money,✦ man, we got this shit by a land slide
Boy, I send them Bloods at your ass, like a tampon✦
Uptown shit, wet the whole party✦
Weezy✦ gon' ball, bal' like Steve Harvey✦
The heater,✦ I'ma✦ tuck her, Tucker✦ like Delores
That's my word, word like thesaurus
I don't see no future✦ in your fronting, I be stunting hard
Rap game dependent on me, like a bungee cord
Fear nobody✦ but God almighty
Shoot that motherfucker 'til I get arthritis
I'm a beast, I'm a ass, I'm ahead of my class
I'm a diamond in the rough, like a baby✦ in the trash
I don't talk it, I live it, I paint a picture, vivid
And them pistols popping, like they sitting in a skillet
I go so hard, go so mean, I'm so New Orleans
Told the judge I couldn't budge, it was him or me
Forget✦ the bullshit and remember me

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Wayne utilizes high-density, absurd, and punchline-heavy wordplay characteristic of his 2011 mixtape-era style, relying on non-sequitur metaphors that function primarily as shock value rather than narrative progression.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB or AAAA couplets with heavy usage of internal multi-syllabic rhyming, relying on 'assonance' and 'consonance' to keep the momentum driving forward.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Your cap get peeled, like ibuprofen"

① Physical violence resulting in a cranial injury (peeling a cap/scalp).② The literal act of peeling the foil or casing off an ibuprofen tablet.

"The heater, I'ma tuck her, Tucker like Delores"

① Hiding a firearm (tucking a heater).② A reference to actress Delores Tucker, who was famously known for publicly attacking the content of gangsta rap lyrics, creating a pun on her name.

"Rap game dependent on me, like a bungee cord"

① The industry relies on Wayne to stay functional.② A bungee cord physically connects to something to support weight or provide resistance, mirroring how his relevance anchors the genre.

High density of internal rhyming

Memorable, punchy similes

Confidence in delivery and flow variation

Innovative, off-kilter linguistic pairings

Lack of cohesive thematic narrative

Structure is essentially a list of one-liners

Some comparisons sacrifice logic for shock value
